The easiest five star review I think I have ever written. Hands down this needs to be your next spot for an evening out in Seattle. The vibe is 10/10 and I love all the light up stars hanging in the window. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by Mike who made delicious cocktails. We enjoyed the nespresso martini and the STFU. I was eyeing the crab nachos but very glad I went with Mike's recommendation of the Bahn mi tacos and my boyfriend loved the 'merica burger. Fries were also insane! We enjoyed chatting with Mike and getting some Seattle recommendations.

Some Random Bar seriously impressed. The nachos were loaded and flavorful, and the spicy gumbo had just the right kick—comfort food done right. Chill atmosphere, great drinks, and friendly service made the whole experience even better. Definitely not your average bar food. We’ll be back!

Was staying in Seattle at VRBO for a couple days before getting on a cruise for Alaska. We were looking for a place for drinks within walking distance of the condo and stumbled upon Some Random Bar. We liked the drink options on the menu so gave it a shot. We absolutely loved it, drinks were awesome, food was fantastic, and the hospitality was top notch! If you are in Seattle I highly recommend this establishment, it's more than just a bar!

This bar became my go-to spot during my time in Seattle. The food was tasty, the drinks were spot on, and the staff were super friendly. My stay was short, but somehow I ended up here almost every day. Next time I’m back in Seattle, this will be one of the first places I visit again. Big thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome!

A fun spot for pre-gaming before a show. Their food menu appears to rotate seasonally, with some house favorite cocktails staying through the year. Happy hour is a good deal, one of the surprisingly dangerous drinks that is a go to is their house margarita mixed with pina colada and toasted coconut. I would take a pitcher of that on a beach and remain there for the entire day if that was an option.

Decent place. The food was really tasty the drink was pretty good. The service is where they dropped the ball. Our server just seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else than there. We asked his opinions about which food he recommended and asked for a small alteration to a drink, and some sauces with our meal but nothing that should have been that annoying to him. You could tell he was talking smack to the bartender when he grabbed our request for the drink. At one point he just stopped coming to our table and someone random checked us out. Probably won't be back because of that but I'd recommend to give it a shot. Maybe he was having a bad day.

Overall had a good time here. I ordered the Italian style burger, and after a 6 day backpacking trip, it was delicious! As were the fries and beer.

They have 4 TVs and play NFL although the TV size is probably on 55” for 3 and smaller for the fourth. Just opens late. The drink menu is great and the food is delicious and not just run of the mill bar food. The clientele is not young and more laid back atmosphere and not loud. Music is played so no game audio. Bathroom is quite clean. High ceilings. Appreciate that the bar seats all have backs, as well as hooks for bags under the counter. Would not recommend for groups bigger than 4 given the small tables.
